On November 22, Fengmei Coking Company of Jizhong Energy Fengfeng Group and Handan China Resources Gas Co., Ltd. held a signing ceremony for the project to produce hydrogen and SNG through coke oven gas. The project for producing hydrogen and SNG from coke oven gas involves converting the existing methanol production facility at Fengmei Coking Company, which has an annual capacity of 200,000 tons of methanol produced from coke oven gas. Using coke oven gas as raw material, and leveraging the wet desulfurization, gas storage tanks, coke oven gas compression, and advanced desulfurization processes available in that methanol facility, new processes such as shift reaction, decarburization, membrane separation for drying, and compression are implemented to produce natural gas. This natural gas is then transported via pipelines to the urban gas distribution network, while any excess hydrogen is fed into the existing 80,000-ton synthetic ammonia production facility. As a result, the project will enable an annual production volume of 140 million cubic meters of natural gas and 80,000 tons of synthetic ammonia. The total investment for the project is 288 million yuan, with construction expected to begin in June 2025.
